when running the game i get an error saying: "Error: Couldn't load project data path ".". Is the .pck file missing?" on windows i only got the exe :P

ciderpunk 2023-05-02 21:37

yeah think you're missing some files here, can't rate your game :(

digx7 2023-05-02 21:39

can't run the windows .exe

obe-dot 2023-05-02 21:42

Looks good, but I can't play :(

Guys thank you so much for pointing this out! What a noob :sweat_smile: I've reuploaded the Windows .exe with the missing pck file and I've tested that it works now so you should be able to play!

@digx7 @obe-dot @freakman @ciderpunk see my above comment (sorry, very new to this whole thing!)

12 procedures! i am the abortion king w000! i think hiding the mouse was a mistake in my rapid clicking i frequently clicked outside the window, and in one case hit the close button...ooops!

@ciderpunk I can't say I've made it that far, but I also barely had time to playtest this thing! :sweat_smile: I've pushed a small bugfix for the mouse issue, thanks for highlighting that!

The graphics are nice despite being simple.

Something about this game disturbs me. That could be because I'm a baby. It was dead simple but I had fun with it. Excellent for a first project! Though I have to ask....if completing procedures....gives me ammo...does that mean....I'm shooting.....yes it does probably...That's certainly a choice :)

piano-forte 2023-05-04 03:38

@roolow Haha, this is something I wrestled with actually. I ultimately decided against making the origin of the ammo this explicit, because that could be offensive to people who may have gone through this, and would have clashed with the patients' dialogue, which is all about how the experience affected them. So I've gone with "video game magic" but this is certainly open to interpretation. Thanks for the positive feedback!

The dialogues are a nice touch. Good entry for a first time!

Nice game

Honestly, i think that this game is weird... But at least the actual gameplay is kinda fun.

hotaloca 2023-05-06 18:22

The liked the game concept a lot, and despite lack of audio and detailed graphics this was kindof fun. :) I think this can certainly be evolved into a fun balancing exercise on helping vs. protecting the area. Very nice job for a first entry!

This game was very difficult, but I vibe with the concept pretty hard and although I couldn't do very well, I did enjoy it.

larsievl 2023-05-08 18:18

I love the concept very funny i managed to get 10 points

rolly 2023-05-12 20:40

It's a very good idea for a game - I made a few mistakes at first, shooting like there's no tomorrow, only to find out that I only 3 bullets and just missed all of them :D

It's pretty challenging, but that's what kept the game interesting. I think I got to 9 points on my best attempt.

Cool game!
